The Archia of the Sealed People

An archia is a family of things that are chief and first. You can belong to the most important of all archias--the group of sealed people. When you become sealed you become a member of that archia.

Jesus promised that if you leave your family for His sake that you will receive a much larger family. If you leave your house and your land you will receive many more houses and lands.

And this is true. When you leave your family for Jesus you are welcomed into the family of Christian people. You have many brethren and perhaps many children. Sometimes you have many fathers and mothers.

And there are more than 2 billion Christians of one kind or another. Some people argue the number is fewer but God is the ultimate judge of who is considered Christian and who is not.

Sealed people are those who are sealed by belief in the teachings of the Seal and by receiving the Seal from God the Father. But the number of sealed people is impossible to measure.

Because we do not know who believes and who does not. That is for God to decide. Just as the Seal must be received from God the Father Himself. But we do know who has confessed they are sealed.

And those who confess they are sealed become members of the archia of sealed people. It is an inner circle of people chosen and beloved by God. These are the faithful. These are the called. These are the set apart.

There are many groups which could be classified as archias. And there are many clubs and sects in the world, many communities and organizations. But the archia of sealed people is the most important of all archias.

That is because the sealed person is sent to build the faith of everyone else. That is why believing the sealed person is important to becoming sealed. And it is important to believing God.

The archia of the sealed is a treasure-trove of faith. Its members are there to build your faith. If you feel like you do not have faith the sealed person is the one to believe on. And if you feel you do have enough faith, you probably do not.

Everyone can use more faith. Everyone needs someone to believe in or believe on. And you have had heroes in people who were not people of God. Perhaps heroes in sports. Or business. Or even entertainment.

Some of these heroes may be virtuous people. But too often they are just human and flawed like everyone else and you can not see those flaws. Everyone is flawed but if you believe on the sealed person you believe on God.

God sent the sealed person so you might have access to God. He sent the sealed the same way He sent Jesus. And Jesus endorses the belief of the sealed person. It brings you closer to God.

And when you are sealed you connect with God. It is the easiest way to approach God. The sad truth is many Christian people are not close to God even though they believe in Jesus. He just is not always available to them.

That is why you can not always trust those teachers who tell you that you must have a "personal relationship" with Jesus. Many of those teachers do not have one. Because Jesus is not always available like that.

But the sealed person is available. Available to build your faith. Available to teach you how you can become sealed. How you can grow closer to God. And be chosen instead of choosing Him.
